In the center of the huge VIP room, there was a mahogany gaming table with seven people sitting around it.
It is an unwritten rule that only one person from the same group can play. It is Xia Lei who is sitting on the gambling seat at the moment, but his luck is not very good. In just ten minutes, he has lost six games in a row.
There was only less than 8 million US dollars left out of the 20 million US dollars, and Harry was so anxious that he almost went crazy.
12 million U.S. dollars. How much is five kilograms of marijuana worth? It's only tens of thousands of dollars. This amount of money is enough to buy several tons of marijuana.
spendthrift!
Harry quickly put on a big hat for these guys. Different from other prodigals, some of them had learned some magical oriental martial arts, but they were still prodigals anyway.
Xia Lei's face turned dark. The fat white man sitting next to him became the biggest winner. Half of the 12 million that Xia Lei lost went into his pocket. No wonder he smiled like a weasel who stole a chicken.
, although millions of dollars are nothing in the eyes of these people, this was also investigated secretly.
Before entering the private room, Harry exchanged five hundred dollars for the information, that is, of all the VIP private rooms today, which one has the richest guests. If he had known that Xia Lei would lose like this, he would definitely not have
I would tell him the real news and choose the smallest private room to gamble.
"Ha... it's finally my turn to speak." Among the three cards in front of Xia Lei, except for one hole card, the other two were K and A. They were playing Stud, which is popular in the world.
Two million U.S. dollars in chips were piled on the table with a whoosh, and Xia Lei looked like he was determined to win.
Three of the other six gamblers threw away their cards, and the others continued to follow.
It seems that Xia Lei's luck is beginning to turn around. Except for the hole card q and the open cards k and a, the fourth card is actually j. The most important thing is that all four cards are hearts. It is not easy to win 10 on the last card, but as long as it is
The red heart becomes a flush, which can definitely kill the whole table, and you can win back most of the money you lost before.
In addition to the 4 million he had bet on, he threw the remaining 4 million at the same time, laughing and saying: "Study! I only need to win a red heart, and you will all lose, haha..."
Xia Lei even showed his trump cards arrogantly, and now two of the remaining three people directly threw away their cards.
There is still a high chance that the last card will be a heart or a 10. Their cards are relatively inferior, and it is difficult to beat Xia Lei's cards.
The rest is still the big fat man sitting next to him. His card is a pair of 5s, and the remaining up card and hole card are a pair of 8s. In other words, if the last card is a miscellaneous card, the two cards are the same.
Both flowers and straights are smaller. If you can get a 5 or 8, the full house will be bigger than a flush or a straight.
On the other hand, if Xia Lei really gets a flush, he will lose even if he is a full house.
Of course, Xia Lei's chance of winning a flush is greater than his full house, but the chance of winning a straight flush is much smaller than his full house.
After hesitating for a long time, the fat man gritted his teeth and put down the four million chips. He sneered secretly in his heart: "Anyway, this money is for you to win. There is nothing you can do if you lose. Not to mention, do I care about these millions?"
?”
Xia Lei danced with joy, and the last card was dealt to the two of them. The fat man revealed the card without even looking at it.
Although he didn't care about the millions, when he saw that the fifth card was a miscellaneous card, he looked sad for a while. Xia Lei could easily beat him with a heart or any 10, and nearly 20 million on the table would fall into his hands.
pocket.
Harry felt that his heart was about to jump out of his mouth. He had never been in such a big gambling game before. He had lost nearly 20 million US dollars in one go. The psychological impact was absolutely intense.
"Red heart... red heart... God, I believe in you from now on, please be a red heart..." He crossed himself on his chest.
"Harry, do you think I can win?" Xia Lei slowly lifted the corner of the card, and Harry's eyes nearly popped out.
As the corners of the cards were slowly revealed, Harry rubbed his eyes hard several times. He was sure that he could see clearly that the last card was actually a red heart!
Win!
Got 20 million!
Just when he was about to cheer loudly, Xia Lei wiped his thumb on the card, and the 2 of hearts turned into a 2 of spades!
Harry's lips moved for a long time, and he pointed a trembling finger at him, unable to say a word.
Two thoughts ran wildly in his head. This guy is not only a prodigal who knows martial arts, but also a prodigal who has a lot of skills and hates having too much money. He obviously has the ability to change cards, even these old fritters who gamble every day can't tell, but he has the ability to change cards.
Turning your good cards into rubbish, willing to give away your money, and having your emotional head hit by a meteor?
"Dry!"
Xia Lei roared angrily and slammed the card on the table. It was a 2 of spades, not to mention a flush, not even a small pair.
The fat man suddenly burst into laughter. He held a cigar between his carrot-thick fingers and laughed so hard that his whole body was shaking: "Little friend from the East, your chips are gone, haha... I didn't expect it to be a no-name brand..."
Xia Lei sat back on the chair slumped, his face was extremely gloomy. From the time he entered the private room to the time he lost all 20 million, it only took about ten minutes.
"Kid, do you want to exchange your chips and continue playing? If you run out of money, you should leave here." Another middle-aged man pointed to the door of the private room.
"Damn it!"
Xia Lei suddenly stood up, pressed his hands on the table, his eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes, and shouted: "Yes, I have no money. I wonder if we accept other things here? Jewelry?"
The six gamblers looked at each other and regarded him as a super spendthrift. How much money can such a person not lose?
At this time, the casino croupier who was responsible for dealing cards nodded and said: "Of course, the premise is that Mr.'s jewelry has sufficient value. Our casino has professional appraisers to evaluate it for you. In addition, the jewelry will have a certain value after evaluation.
The discount rate, for example, jewelry with a market value of one million can only be used as 600,000 here."
At this moment, Xia Lei was completely like a gambler who had lost all his money. In order to continue gambling and make money, he would not hesitate to take a 10% discount.
Immediately afterwards, everyone's doubtful expressions turned into shock. From his underwear pocket, he took out a fist-sized, completely transparent black diamond without any impurities!
The scene fell into a dead silence. The most expensive colorless diamond in the diamond kingdom is definitely not a common colorless diamond, but an extremely rare colored diamond. Apart from colored diamonds, black diamonds are the most valuable of the same quality. Such a large
How much a piece of black diamond is worth, these super rich people here can't help but be dumbfounded.
Not long after, an appraiser who looked to be about sixty years old walked in. When he saw the black diamond on the table, his eyes shone with almost obsession.
He looked at the black diamond over and over for a long time, and then put it down reluctantly: "Such a big black diamond should be considered a priceless treasure. If you estimate it..." He swallowed hard and said with a bitter smile: "The lowest price.
Two billion U.S. dollars, my God... If a collector takes a fancy to it, it would be normal to sell it for tens of billions of U.S. dollars. This is a truly priceless treasure."
thump!
Harry fell to the ground seriously. He was definitely not an idiot. When the appraiser said these words, he vaguely understood Xia Lei's thoughts.
However, he never imagined how the guy in front of him could be so rich.
What is the concept of priceless treasure?
It is something that should be placed in the national museum, or it is a private collection of some collectors, but he carries it with him. Isn't he afraid of being robbed? He does not think that martial arts can fight against firearms, and breaking a dagger is nothing.
A bullet can easily solve it.
Xia Lei stared at the six stupid gamblers with his blood-red eyes, and shouted loudly: "Okay! Even if it's two billion US dollars, or 1.2 billion after a 60% discount, do you dare to bet with me?"
Do you dare?
Millions of these people really look down upon them. Their group companies all have tens of billions of dollars in funds. However, more than a billion is a different matter, and all the money used in casinos is cash. Once this cash is used
If you lose, the company's liquidity chain is likely to be ruined.
But on the other hand, they absolutely believe in the eyesight of the royal appraiser of the Golden Palace Casino. Besides, given their status, how can they not see the value of this diamond?
The estimated price of two billion U.S. dollars is only a vague figure, because this diamond is so precious that there is no reference for comparison. As the appraiser said, selling for tens of billions of dollars is considered normal. Using 1.2 billion to fight for tens of billions is not a good idea.
You have already taken a huge advantage by gambling. This is a completely unfair bet.
The fat man stared at the black diamond greedily, and finally gritted his teeth and shouted: "Win or lose in one game! Ask the casino security guards to get in and seal all the private rooms. No one present is allowed to leave until the game is over!"
"
The temptation of priceless treasures is too great. Although the Golden Palace Casino does not dare to do tricks, what about these people sitting here?
Maybe, I won the black diamond here and was shot in the face when I went out, so no one was allowed to leave the scene before the gambling was over. In this way, even if I contacted the outside world, I couldn't spread the news until I got the diamond.
If you leave again, it will be too late for anyone to do anything.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen security guards carrying rubber batons and obviously weapons in their arms came running and sealed off the inside and outside of the private room.
Billions of dollars in gambling did not exist in Las Vegas. This incident quickly alarmed the casino executives and even opened a temporary account for this gambling game. Everyone participating in the gambling game must remit money.
In this newly created account, the winner finally takes away the money in the account and the priceless black diamond.
At the same time, in order to obtain greater profits, the casino executives spread the news to other VIP room guests, so that everyone can participate in the gamble.
Of course, as one of the largest casinos in Las Vegas, the Golden Palace Casino does not allow anyone to break the rules. Before the end of the gambling game, all high rollers who have received the news are not allowed to pass on the news to the outside world.
The rough estimate is that it is worth at least 2 billion, which is actually enough to sell for more than 10 billion. It is a priceless and unmarketable treasure. This black diamond was priced at 1.2 billion, which immediately attracted a large number of super rich people.
Hours later, ten people were sitting around the gambling table in this private room, including three of the six previous gamblers. They had already put 1.2 billion into the new account.
This is a gambling game without a raise, because there is no midway abandonment. There are only two cards left in a deck of cards, and each of the ten gamblers got five cards.
Except for Xia Lei, everyone was extremely careful and slowly revealed the cards one by one...
